Its All Been Done…
There’s been so much I’ve wanted to blog about this last week, but there’s been so little time. I have no idea how the time flies and how at one point in my life I managed to work full time and go to university full time and still, STILL, have time to blog. And watch TV. And sleep. I was clearly a superhero…
But now, apparently, it’s a miracle that I manage to squeeze in my half-hour viewing of the Office every week (and sometimes, I’m doing that late at night on my laptop because Thursday at 9 p.m. is just not convenient) and get to the blog once a week. And instead of writing about things that catch my interest, things like Margaret Wente’s column where she stated that women don’t blog or the show we saw at the NAC last week, you get this… Because by now it’s all been discussed…
Last week was Spring Break, which means nothing to childless types like Mike and me, except that the traffic on Mike’s commute to work was even lighter than usual, and my strength-training classes were cancelled. Which meant that instead of taking the bus one hour across town post work on Wednesday, I got to go out with some coworkers to hit a bar in the market for St. Patrick’s Day. And, for the first time in my life, had green beer (well, cider, due to the whole no-gluten thing. Stupid gluten…) Thursday night was date night, thanks to the NAC and DaniGirl.
The NAC gave Dani two tickets to their Pop’s concert Mysteroso to give away on her blog. And I was the lucky winner. It was a fun night out, not least of all because I finally got to meet Dani in real life. The show was fun – I’m a sucker for illusions. It wasn’t a show we’d normally have chosen, but we enjoyed it none-the-less and on the walk home Mike suggested we should look into shows at the NAC more often – especially since it’s now just a 15 minute walk home rather than a 40 minute drive.
On Friday, we got our new granite kitchen countertops installed and I am in love. 🙂 They are so pretty. I feel very old now, getting so excited about granite, but I’ll get over it. Now if only the restoration company could come and finish off the rest of the kitchen and then we’d be done… That would be nice. Living in half-finished renos for months now has been stressful, to say the least. It will be good to have everything back to rights and then maybe, just maybe, we can proceed to unpacking the remaining boxes. Six months after we moved in. What a concept.
Yeah, I’m bored of reading that too.
I’ve been struggling ever since giving up the old blog and starting this new one on what I want to get out of blogging. What do I want this blog to be? Do I even want to blog? I keep coming back to it, so yes, I do think that I want to be blogging. But do I want this to be more than just a rehash of the minor day-to-day goings on in my world? And if so, what do I want to write about? And how do I ensure that I carve space out in my life to make blogging happen?
I don’t expect anyone to have the answers, when I don’t myself. But these are the things that go around in my head as I sit down to write. And when I’m rushing around thinking “hey, I’d really like to blog about that” but then never get (or take) the time. Maybe blogging about the mundane once a week fills a need and that’s how it will continue, but somehow I really think I’d like this to be more than that. Either that or not do it at all.
